several representations about the non-availability of the revised form CRA-2 on
MCA-21 required for filing of notice of appointment of the Cost Auditor for the
F.Y. 2015-16, although the time Iimit for filing of the same has either lapsed
or will be lapsing. The revised form CRA-2 has now been notified on 12th
June, 2015 and is available on the MCA21 system for filing. ln view of the
delay in availability of revised Form CRA 2 on the MCA21 portal, however, the

2015 is waived for all such filings till 30th June, 2015. The
revised e-Form CRA-4 has also been notified vide the above mentioned
notification and will be made available on MCA-21 portal shortly. Therefore, on
